Startup Quote is a simple site with a simple purpose: offer inspirational quotes from heads of some of the web's leading sites like Behance and Mashable. Quitting has never been harder.
How could you even think of quitting when Pete Cashmore's (Mashable) head is telling you that "it's best to dive in and learn the hard way." Startup Quote is the perfect pick-me-up for any struggling startup, Internet-based or otherwise.
Implications - As someone who values creativity and has taken some forays into developing arts-based projects, this is also the perfect website to go to when you're experiencing a frightful bit of writer's block or show anxiety. Nothing puts me more at ease than reading the words of someone who started off in the same position as me and managed to parlay it into big time success.
